MyISAM creates the .MYI file even if there are no indexes. I suspect it keeps other dynamic information there, perhaps including the current number of rows in the table. It sounds as if the developers put a version number in the .MYI and blindly use that to require REPAIR, even if the actual reasons for the REPAIR may not apply in a particular case.

Thanks for the OS info.
